I only ever got 11.1 to work on USB by installing the live image using unetbootin, then deleting the config.isoclient file in the root of the USB, and copying config.gnome.isoclient or config.kde.isoclient (depending on which LiveCD iso it was) and renaming the copy config.isoclient.

Hope that helps.

Also in the root of the USB. I followed instructions found in the comments here;

Maybe you can piece something together if the file isn’t there. If not, maybe give it a try with the standard 11.1 iso.

Installing via USB is definitely a frustrating experience - if it’s any consolation, it seems that 11.2 is going to make it much easier.
